Australian Coal Mining Safety and Health Act

The Australian Coal Mining Safety and Health Act sets out rules and standards to ensure safety in coal mining operations. It mandates proper planning, risk management, and safety procedures to protect workers from hazards like fires, collapses, and equipment failures. The Act requires mine operators to maintain safe working conditions, provide proper training, and promptly address safety concerns. It is enforced by regulatory authorities to promote a safety-first culture, reduce accidents, and ensure environmental protections are upheld within the coal industry.
